  1. I love the F-35, but trust me, drones will be fully autonomous in the very near future and be a significant force multiplyer. As for not being able to take out a bridge. that's just naivety. Consider this scenario, you have a small vehicle with 20 drones each carrying a pound of C4. They pop out of the trunk of the car as it drives over the bridge and fly to support columns. If you're telling me that every single bridge in the world won't come down with that kind of assault, you're dreaming. Now let's imagine that a nuclear capable state fits each of their drones with a micro-nuke. Do you still think they won't be able to take out far larger targets? Do you remember the 50's? The US had nuclear hand grenades. So yeah, if it's Russia or China, you better believe they could make a micro-nuke and fit it onto a relatively small drone. Then you have stealth. You could fully automate a stealth drone and put smaller drones in it with micro-nukes. Jet into a war zone from a couple hundred miles away, drop a ton of smart nuke drones, and bye bye target. And if you think that fully autonomous drones aren't possible now, then you haven't been paying attention to all the NN-based tech out there. People are connecting high powered graphics cards with massive parallel processing capabilities to Raspberry Pi's. If you think that they won't have smaller packages for this technology in the next five years and the ability to transfer their models to every drone in their fleet in a matter of minutes, then yet again I have to say you haven't been paying attention. We already have databases that are easily accessible and can already perform advanced image recognition. With the right coding everything can be glued together now to make a terminator style HK drone. Full automation is one general, defense secretary and/or president away from becoming a reality.
